Two of the biggest Disney secrets revealed!

The world of Disney is full of sneaky little secrets and two of the latest ones to be revealed are ones you'll certainly pick up on next time you watch a movie.

The magical world of Disney is full of secrets and there are two massive ones that have been revealed.

In a few of the films there are some similarities and it’s because Disney has been reusing scenes from previous movies for over 50 years.

Scenes from Sleeping Beautywere used again in Beauty and the Beast and again a dancing scene from Snow White was used in Robin Hood.

Why do they recycle scenes?

Disney fans have put together clips on Youtube putting the clips together to show the recycled scenes and how strangely natural they look in the different films.

According to Floyd Norman who has worked on Disney films including The Sword in the Stone, The Jungle Book and Robin Hood there is one man behind recycling scenes, Woolie Reitherman.

Woolie directed Winnie the Pooh, 101 Dalmatians and the AristoCats and he liked to “play it safe” by using old scenes Floyd explained to geekdad.com.

“It’s a lot faster and easier to just do new animation, and it’s a lot more fun for the animaters. But Woolie liked to play it safe and use stuff he knew would work. That’s all it was,” said Floyd.

He wasn’t the only one who reused scenes and the co-director of Beauty and the Beast admitted that they recycled a dance scene from Sleeping Beauty, but it was because they were struggling to finish the film on time.

The one strange body part that's missing

Another one you might not have noticed is there is one body part that Disney characters are missing and it’s a subtle one.

Fingernails, that’s the one thing that a lot of Disney characters are missing but weirdly every now and again polished fingertips appear.

Strangely in a few scenes there are defined fingernails that pop up from time to time but not through the whole movie.

But throwing a slight twist in some of the villains are accessorised with perfect nails like Ursula from The Little Mermaid and The Evil Queen from Snow White.

It’s probably something you’ve never noticed but we’re sure the next Disney movie you watch you’ll be focused in on finding perfectly polished nails.
